Brenda May Gallery, 2 Danks Street, Waterloo, Sydney, NSW
A collaborative exhibition of contemporary screen and media art presented by dLux MediaArts and Black Box Projects at Brenda May Gallery, including Horizons by Neil Jenkins.
Presented from 25 February to 10 May 2014, Scanlines: Remix included Horizons by Neil Jenkins, a constantly morphing colour field drawn from photographic images made from dawn until dusk.
The exhibition connected the Sydney-based media arts organisation dLux MediaArts with Black Box Projects and Brenda May Gallery. Brenda May founded the gallery, which later became MAY SPACE.
dLux MediaArts is an Australian not-for-profit arts organisation supporting artists working at the intersection of art, science and emerging technologies. Founded in 1982 as the Sydney Super 8 Group, it became the Sydney Intermedia Network in 1990 and adopted the name dLux MediaArts in 1998 as its remit expanded across electronic, screen and multimedia art.
The organisation is custodian of Scanlines, a physical and online archive documenting four decades of Australian video and new-media art. Material from the archive has informed exhibitions and national touring programmes, alongside regional education and community initiatives including the dLab National Program.
Jenkins’s participation formed part of his longer engagement with Australian digital and new-media organisations and exhibition contexts.
